Arch Linux User Repository

king007: I have added this change from upstream as a patch, which should fix this.

Problem Python 3.7 support in GNS3 already solved by Jeremy Grossman (https://github.com/GNS3/gns3-gui/issues/2566).. You can use GNS3 version 2.1.10dev2 to run GNS3 well in Arch Linux.. I already test it and it can run my topology network test with well..

You can download gns3-server package from here (https://github.com/GNS3/gns3-server/tree/814526ba2608af207b2d45fc9c2ac290872a71db) and gns3-gui package from here (https://github.com/GNS3/gns3-gui/tree/a5f4ec01355c357bd1a0752fb199797648d69772)..

That version can be temporary solution until GNS3 2.1.10 final version has release and ready in aur..

Thanks..

@stonyboy So, does this mean we cannot install Gns3-Server for now ? Or is there any way to workaround ? Thank you in advance

@SinClaus:

The python version has been updated from 3.6 to 3.7 and the gns3 packages need to be bytecompiled again with the new python version.

If you like me are using a AUR package manager (e.g aurman) you need to remove the cached packages to be able to force this step (e.g remove the folders named ~/.cache/aurman/gns3* and the dependency python packages like python-aiohttp-cors-gns3 etc.)

Getting that far you will probably see a number of bytecompilation errors in the gns3-server package like this:

File "/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/gns3server/controller/project.py", line 890 asyncio.async(self.start_all())

which signifies that the asyncio module has finally removed the asyncio.async function in favor of the asyncio.ensure_future function. The asyncio.async function was deprecated some python releases ago according to the documentation.

I have not yet checked with the GNS3 project site - but they will need to comply with this change - or the gns3-server package will need to contain a patch step for this to work with python 3.7

After today's update GNS server cant't start. Here is log:

I ran into a dependency error. Seems to work with python-yarl-gns3 from aur instead of python-yarl.

curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404 ==> ERROR: Failure while downloading https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/source/a/aiohttp-cors/aiohttp-cors-0.5.3.tar.gz

vboxwrapper is no longer needed since 1.2.3 (https://github.com/GNS3/vboxwrapper). Would you mind removing it from the optional dependencies please?

:: python-aiohttp-gns3 and python-aiohttp-135 are in conflict (python-aiohttp). Remove python-aiohttp-135? [y/N] y error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)

Anyone else?

I can confirm it's ok now. Thanks.
